"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Verbal sparring with buddies = AMOGing?

When I'm with my buddies we kind of verbal spar with each other, which is pretty common among guys. Basically it could be anything from making comments about each others mothers or a jab at how bad your basketball game is etc. I think it's funny even when I'm not at the winning end. The problem is, the majority of the time I'm not at the winning end. I can't help but notice the similarities between amoging and the such. I consider it practice for AMOGing.

My problem is I'm too serious and take offense easily. I can't just relax and be cool about it. Any tips on how to AMOG my buddies and keep my cool?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

What are they like when girls are around? I've known guys who turned into douches when we were around chicks. I don't get amogged anymore, let me tell you why.

Not to sound like a broken record, but hit the gym. The bigger you get, the less sh!t you will take, even in jest, whether girls are around or not. Everyone pities the weak, but jealousy you have to earn.

My friends are pretty cool when girls are around, most of them are naturals. They would never go out of the way to amog me or anything. I would never try to do that to them either. It's all about respect. I can't seem to be as witty as they are.

I'm trying to get bigger, I go to the gym all the time. Gaining weight is hard for me, but it's not like I'm some scrawny kid, I'm pretty cut.

Stop trying to think of witty comebacks to validate your own EGO. Your best offense is a great defense. Instead, just disarm their comments which allows you to maintain your value and lower theirs. There are 2 attractive ways I like to do this: 1) turn the negative into a positive 2) brush off their comments and express that "I don't care" without saying it

Example: you walk up and get "hey p-u-s-s-y"

Option 1: "hey everybody likes p-u-s-s-y, thanks for the compliment"
Option 2: "hold that thought" and talk about whatever you want to

*With experience and no EGO you can make witty comments for your own enjoyment (in your own "state") without trying to validate and salvage your EGO which brings me to.......

Option 3: "yea i'm a p-u-s-s-y but you're my douche bag!"- smile, laugh, and have fun

If you hear crap like that, look at them like they are crazy. Beat someone up if you have to. Don't listen to any junk about "fighting is AFC", fighting can be AFC in certain contexts, but if someone is outrightly disrespecting you like that, he does so thinking you won't do anything about it. With witty comments, you are forever having to come up with more witty comments and feeling frustrated.

Within any group there is always bs and banter, but if you ain't gonna have the sh!t directed at you, there is no faster and more effective way to stop it than to hurt somebody. We haven't been out of the woods that long.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

serious insults can never be taken lightly nor if the same person after knowing you won't do anything starts to do it regularly.

Lol man. I'm not gonna fight my friends unless they really get out of hand. It's not like I'm the only target, it's directed at everyone and it's funny banter. It just seems like everyone keeps their cool better than me and comes back better. I don't want to have to hurt anyone to get respect.

I like the no ego thing, it shows it doesn't bother me. However I still want to sharpen my verbal skills.

Ye I get exactly whats going on me and my friends do it all the time. I got some friends who know not to do it in front of girls cuz we been macking together for ages. But some friends are dumb and say something like:

" Oi bro remember when that chix wanted me instead of you " in front of the chixs . ( Probs not true)

I usually respond with something like

" Ye bro you got something about you that the girls love " Obviously smiling like

i let him have his moment of glory and then I just starting talking to the girls.
